What channel is Macclesfield v Crystal Palace FA Cup match on? TV coverage, live stream and kick-off time
Check out how to watch Macclesfield v Crystal Palace in the FA Cup, including TV channel, radio coverage and kick-off time.
FA Cup champions Crystal Palace begin their title defence away at National League North outfit Macclesfield on Saturday lunchtime.
The Eagles defied the odds last season by beating Man City at Wembley to win football's oldest club competition, and a major trophy, for the first time.
FA Cup third round weekend comes at a good time for the South Londoner faithful. Crystal Palace have struggled on the pitch recently and rumours continue to circle about manager Oliver Glasner, who has been linked to the vacant Man Utd job.
Macclesfield, one of just two sixth-tier clubs, and only three non-league teams, remaining in the competition, will hope to draw on some of its famous magic as they aim for a famous upset.
Win or lose, it's set to be a fantastic occasion for the Silkmen, a phoenix club that was formed after Macclesfield Town folded in 2020.
